The FC999 has an easy to use, sliding spring-loaded negative pole, which makes inserting any type battery a breeze. Charger can charge up to 4 batteries at a time; Recharges batteries in SINGLE or Group as the FC999 microprocessor monitors each charging bay individually.

Individual timers aid in overcharge protection, giving a complete intelligently controlled charging cycle. FC999 has both LED and LCD display so the status of each battery's charge cycle can be easily seen.

I designed many things including the 35 pack dispenser that was used on all APOLLO missions. Here are my comments: 1. The contact points on the positive and negative terminals…

Pros
  • Power tool spares and accessories
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
